The Monkey’s Paw Question #4 In the Conjure-Man Dies, something mysterious happens to Frimbo the conjure-man, leading Bubbler Brown to hurriedly run to get help from Dr. Archer. Identify incidents in “The Monkey’s Paw” that similarly provoke characters’ decisions. How do these incidents drive the plot forward? How does the story structure contribute to the meaning of the texts? The incidents in The Monkey’s paw provokes characters' decisions when Mr. White frantically has to find the monkey’s paw to wish his son away, trying to help his wife. This helps drive the plot forward because it gives us a rush of adrenaline and mystery and makes us want to know more. The story structure also contributes to the meaning because it represents the meaning of being aware of consequences or warnings. In paragraph onehundred forty three. “Frantically breathed his third and last wish.” and in paragraph onehundred forty-four “A long loud wail of disappointment and misery from his wife.” These support how Mr. White felt a sense of regret, his earlier decisions coming back to haunt him as he tries to turn it all back by making one last wish. The misery and disappointment from her wife also adds on to Mr. White's regret, driving the plot forward. The structure of the story contributes to the meaning because it shows us the moral and meaning of regret and greediness.
